Already 15cm over 6 hours and EnviroCan finally decides to issue a snowfall warning.

Well, I would say the outlier won the day (from a day or two ago)

I'm in downtown, and the official Environment Canada app just gave the notification a half hour ago.

My dwarf fruit trees are not looking happy today. My neighbor sent some pictures this morning because we are in Vancouver. I'm hoping my kid can go shake the trees soon when he wakes up.

Yeah I see now, I'm in Evergreen and my warning was issued at 7 yesterday and extended down south all the way to Pincher Creek, it didn't get extended to the rest of the city until 8 this morning

We’re in Tuscany, about 5cm on the ground so more than expected but not all things considered. Talking to our daughter this morning, she is in K Country and they got a lot. That’s a little worrisome for me as they are working out there and there’s practically no traffic today so if they get into issues on the road they are isolated.

Edit:
Check that , it’s more like 10cm

My cherry tree branches are weighed down a bit but tree across the street beaches touching the ground that are normally way up.

My tall Aspen Comumners are all pretty much bent in half. I knocked the snow off that I could reach but they're pretty tall. I hope they bounce back.

Just thought I’d say, take it easy when you’re shoveling. This is “heart attack” snow and knowing a lot of you fellas (and ladies), we’re not getting any younger!

We’re pushing 15” here. Crazy.

Snow wasn't too horrible. The sidewalk stuff seems like it was on its way to melting. Kind of didn't expect this much as I would have prioritized some outdoor tasks, like raking and moving patio set, etc.
